lxml can parse XML and broken HTML (see http://lxml.de/parsing.html).

Thanks to everyone.
Though I didn't get what I expected, it made me think more about the
reason I need to parse these files to begin with. So I'm going to do
some more homework on the overall business application and work backward
from there. Once I know how the data fits in the scheme of things, I
will create an appropriate abstraction layer, either from scratch, or
using one of the existing parsers mentioned, but I won't really know
that until I have finished modeling.
